The Detroit Demolition Department has been working to eliminate blight in the city ahead of Detroit Demo Week.
Homeowners on Northlawn Street near West Chicago and Wyoming Avenue have been waiting for a demolition crew for years to take down an abandoned house that has been an “eyesore.” “We want to maintain the beautification of our neighborhood, and the stability, and the quality of life for our neighbors,” one homeowner said
The Detroit Demolition Department is working to demolish 8,000 homes and stabilize 6,000 homes for resale by 2025.
“Mayor Duggan has been very focused on ensuring a blight to beauty concept across the city, and this is another continued effort to address that,” said Detroit Demolition Department Director LaJuan Counts.
